Tiny has built her long career within the KBC Group, with positions as Asset Manager, Risk Manager, Treasury Manager. Most recently she has acted as the Chief Risk Officer and member of the Executive Committee of KBC Asset Management.
Over the past few years DRS has diversified its activities from collective investment recovery cases to anti-trust cases and one-to-one commercial claims. At the same time, DRS expanded into new markets and opened offices in New York, Hong Kong and London.
